Max 15min Efficiency Value Possible

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

In case anyone is wondering what the max possible 15min efficiency value is after the new 2025.06.01 SW update. This is the answer.

The graph stopped updating after I hit 10.02mi/kWh. The under 3mi/kWh section should have disappeared, but stayed stuck even after driving for another 5-10min downhill.

For those who don't know where they can find this, its the display in front of the driver behind the steering wheel, left side. To change what’s displayed there (if I recall correctly ) press and hold the left or right buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.

To get this number: drive down an incline long and steep enough that you are recharging the battery the whole time through regen, and have it last more than 15min.
